@JonnyboyCalippo No. This car has a centrifugal clutch. If engine RPM is above a certain treshold the clutch engages. It's a carburated engine that needs to run on the choke for a while, before you can drive off (normally not neccesary, but engine is not in a good condition...). Because of the high RPM's caused by running on the choke, the clutch is engaged and so the car cannot be shifted in gear.There is a knob on the shifter to declutch it, so you can shift with choke, but that was broken.
Yes, I part exchange for a Saab 99 GL, a more refined car. One of the main problem with that type of car was the centrigarful clutch ( i know it is spelled wrong , but hey, this is the You tube ) i could never adjust it right !!!!
This Volvo differs from the daf, you should start the daf `in gear` and take off directly...
I love to own a 66GLS in the future.

Do you always have to wait for about one minute to drive ?

not seen one of these in years! A friend's mum had one. Always seemed to be screaming it's head off with the CVT!
